4. Experiencing Jesus’ Invitation & Welcome

Reflect prayerfully on each on each statement on the welcome and invitation of Jesus and notice what is coming to life in you and any resistance that might occur.(Resistance: There will often be movements away as well as movements towards as we come into deeper relationship with Jesus).

[1a] Jesus accuses the religious leaders of loading people down with rules and regulations to the point of nearly breaking their backs (Luke 11: 46). With the rules and expectations we place upon ourselves, we can be doing something very similar.
